Samantha G.
Meet Sammi, instructor, avid athlete, and visionary founder of Stoik Body Company. Her mission is to redefine the concept of movement and fitness through a unique fusion of exercise science, psychology, massage therapy, stretching, and coaching.
Sammi has a diverse background that includes being a NASM-certified personal trainer since 2017, and obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology from Iowa State University. She brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to her operation. Years of long-distance running, and her current devotion to powerlifting and strength training, add to her understanding of the intricacies of human movement and the importance of functional fitness.
During her training at Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School, Sammi realized that everyone, including powerlifters, can improve their movement patterns. She specializes in modalities such as orthopedic assessment & massage, deep tissue, neuromuscular, and positional release techniques, as well as traditional Thai Massage.
Honing in on her skills, Sammi has incorporated even more massage modalities to help clients achieve optimal functional movement, improved mobility, posture, and joint health while reaching their goals.
Whether as teacher, trainer, massage therapist or coach, Sammi’s approach is geared to challenge herself and others, embrace discomfort, promote relief, and unlock untapped physical, mental, and emotional potential with ease.
Her clientele, including peers, praise her work and credit her for great results.
